Hello! Can anyone help me figure out if my girls are actually girls? The two buff orpingtons are 11 weeks old, we think. And my little barred rocks mutt is five weeks. When we got the buff's, we thought the bigger one must have had some of her tail feathers pecked. It just seemed as if she was missing some. Just this week they have started to grow some wattles and there faces are a little pinker, but their combs are still very small. I am hoping for all girls.
Here are the three of them.

Here is a picture of the difference in the tail feathers.

This picture of ladybug (in the front) scares me a bit. Her sis is in the back.

Here is my baby mutt chicken. She is a barred rocks crossed with a big white unknown breed of chicken.

Thanks for your help!!
 
Nice pics! That "mutt" is sure a cutie! In my opinion her and Ladybug are girls and the "sis" is a Sam! Anyone else?

Oops just saw what lurky posted. I hope lurky is right!

Actually, those were my suspicions too. Sis being a Sam.
